Default We finally did it!!! 7.93 @ 183 mph!! :) :)

Well, We finally did it. Bergenholtz Racing is now the first IMPORT in the 7 sec. range. We had a few gremlins that caused us to have a hard time this weekend, but expect a lot more next year. First pass we had a charge pipe blow off past a wiggins clamp ( go figure ) then in the 2nd round, BAM... 7.93!!! Third round was on a better pass with better numbers all the way around, but injector failure caused the motor to shut down in the middle of 3rd gear slowing us to an 8.15. We made it to the finals against GM and are very excited to have done so well. Thanks to everyone for their support. We will keep the import spirit alive!!!

I also wanted to give a big applause to Skunk 2 for making it happen at NHRA. 9.85 and a win their first time at NHRA!! Great job guys

To Gardella Racing, you guys busted your ***. You deserve a good deal and I have best wishes for you next year!

Congrats to all the other teams. It was a great weekend and can't wait until next year!!!

Major congrats to Ron, Ed, Nate, Vince. It's good to see a "little guy" run 7's in pro FWD. My eyes were bulging as I was looking at the results of the Pomona race! Great job!!

Cloyse, you and your dad are great people. I am glad to hear that all is going good for you. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to have fun in that class. Congrats on the great 10.2 pass. Can't believe how fast the all-motor class is getting!!!

You guys did a good job this weekend.

It must be the new pistons you guys are using now.

Tell Ron he needs to call me.

Congrats to The Bergenholtz and the Golden Eagle Crew! Good to see a "budget" team break into the 7's. Those GM guys just has too much HP over that class. More MONEY-More POWER! Once you guys get more HP out of your motors, they should start watching their backs. Vince - tell your dad to get ready for all the motors I'm sending in. See you in 2005!

i knew something was up! it looked like u guys hit a brick wall on the top end cuz the car stoped accelerating...u guys were holding em off well too, then all of a sudden seemed like the car slowed, and the mph showed it

7's!
